Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Sir, while I appreciate you paying for my bill, I must correct you, I am now an adult!"

After he finished speaking, Kripps was visibly taken aback.

Because Wendy doesn't look like an adult at all.

It's not that they don't resemble each other, but rather that they are completely unrelated.

Kripps glanced at the bartender and saw him nodding silently, confirming that Wendy was telling the truth.

"Okay, I take back what I just said."

Although Kripps was a wealthy businessman, he was very approachable.

"Even if you're an adult, or you look like you haven't been an adult for long, it's best not to drink excessively, as it's bad for your health."

Wendy replied with a smile, "It's okay, having a little alcohol occasionally is good for your health~"

Looking at the bottles scattered around Wendy's feet, Kripps fell into deep thought. This was just a few drinks.

Young man, do you have some misunderstanding about the term "several cups"?

Kripps glanced at Wendy, then slowly said, "The Anemo Archon protects the people of Mondstadt, except for drunkards."

In Mondstadt, the people almost universally regarded Barbatos as a deity.

So Kripps hoped to use this method to get Wendy to drink in moderation.

However, Wendy scratched her head and said, "Maybe the Wind God also likes to drink?"

"You mustn't talk nonsense."

Kripps stopped laughing and immediately stopped Wendy.

Because Cripps was a follower of Barbatos, who was the supreme being in his heart, how could he be associated with wine?

Wendy blinked and retorted, "How is that nonsense? There's no historical record saying that the Wind God doesn't like drinking, is there?"

Kripps opened his mouth, unsure how to refute.

Because those historical books do not explicitly state whether the Wind God drank alcohol.

In the end, Kripps could only manage to say, "I have studied Mondstadt's history for thousands of years and know the deeds of the Wind God by heart."

"Who understands the Wind God more, you or me?"

"Lord Anemo has always been silently protecting Mondstadt, how could he possibly have time to drink?"

"No, Lord Wind God would never be interested in wine!"

Wendy paused for a moment, looking at Kripps, who was trying his best to uphold the image of the Anemo Archon.

I never imagined I had such devout followers.

“You’re right. Lord Anemo has no interest in alcohol. He has been silently protecting Mondstadt.”

Wendy touched her nose and said something against her will without even blushing.

Just then, the tavern door was opened again, and Fang Xun walked in.

Led by the bartender, he came to redeem Wendy.

"Fang Xun, you've finally arrived!"

Wendy was incredibly moved to see Fang Xun appear.

Wendy knew that Fang Xun would never abandon him.

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

As a loyal fan of the Knights of Favonius, Kripps had naturally heard about Fang Xun's deeds.

Fang Xun has helped the Knights of Favonius resolve crises twice in a row, achieving an extremely impressive record.

If Fang Xun wanted to, he could easily join the Knights of Favonius, right?

It's really enviable.

Kripps suddenly became very curious: what kind of person is such a great hero in his daily life?

You must be approachable, right?

Just as Kripps was thinking this, Fang Xun flicked Wendy's forehead with a flick.

It wasn't about physical strength; it was simply an emotional expression.

Do you know why I played that on you?

Wendy rubbed her forehead and said weakly, "I know, I called you over to pay because I didn't have money to pay the bill after drinking."

"However, someone has already paid the bill."

【Hate/h ...

"Someone helped with the bill?" This surprised Fang Xun.

"So...did you just get a free flick on the head?"

Wendy nodded, looking aggrieved.

Fang Xun stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I can't bully you, how about this..."

"Just flick Taro-maru later, and we'll call it even."

Wendy:? ? ?

Shouldn't the normal procedure be for me to flick your forehead?

How did it turn into Dantaro Maru?

This is truly the behavior of the master, with the family footing the bill.

Wendy originally wanted to curse Fang Xun, the sixth brother.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was the same way, often leaving Dvalin to handle the aftermath...

That's fine.

Fang Xun didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "Who paid the bill? We should definitely thank them properly."

Wendy introduced, "Cripps, the owner of this tavern."

Kripps stepped forward and smiled politely: "Hello Mr. Fang Xun, I am Kripps."

Upon seeing the middle-aged man with red hair in front of him, Fang Xun immediately realized that this was Grandpa Lu's father.

The two are practically identical; when Diluc is middle-aged, he'll probably look just like Kripps now.

Coming to his senses, Fang Xun returned the smile with a polite smile: "Mr. Kripps, thank you so much for today."

"It's nothing, nothing to brag about. I'm just glad it helped you."

Because Fang Xun was very famous in the Knights of Favonius, Kripps was very friendly to him.

"Are you going to Dawn Manor later? Why don't you ride in my carriage with me?"

As he spoke, Kripps walked out of the tavern and waved.

Immediately, two carriages slowly emerged from the alley and stopped in front of the tavern.

At this moment, a clean-looking little boy slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

The little boy looked at Fang Xun and Wendy and politely introduced himself.

"Diluc of Mondstadt has arrived as promised."

Chapter 356 Barbatos, courtesy name Wendy, pen name Jiajiu Jushi

"The Knights of Favonius will be hosting a banquet at the Dawn Tavern tonight,"

"I've heard that quite a few knights have already gone to the appointment, including Grand Master Falgar..."

In a dimly lit room, a portly merchant was cautiously reporting on the situation of the Knights of Favonius.

Opposite the businessman stood a silent man.

He leaned back in his seat, one hand supporting his chin, the other gently tapping the armrest.

Because of the mask, the merchant couldn't see the man's face, only his deep eyes, which flickered like eerie ghostly flames.

The man is the executive officer of the Fools, codenamed "Doctor".

To be precise, the man is just one of the "doctors".

The Doctor created multiple versions of himself, each performing a different task.

At this moment, the doctor, who was sitting in the chair, did not speak, but stopped tapping the armrest, clearly dissatisfied with the information brought by the merchant.

"Gone?"

At this moment, the doctor cast a glance at him, his voice completely flat.

Those two simple words sent a chill down the merchant's spine.

The reason was simple: the businessman sensed a strong aura of death emanating from the doctor's cold eyes.

For a PhD, anyone who has no use to the world doesn't need to exist.

Thinking of this, cold sweat soaked the merchant's back.

The merchant, in a panic, blurted out, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate has something else to report!"

"Cripps, the owner of Dawn Winery, has recently spent a lot of Mora..."

"It's said to be to help the Knights of Favonius investigate the guardians of the ruins and the affairs of the thieves."

At this moment, the businessman's heart was pounding in his chest.

If the Doctor is not interested in this information, then another person will be added to Mondstadt's list of missing persons.

Fortunately, Kripps's situation caught the doctor's attention.

"I don't like people meddling in my affairs, especially interfering with my plans."

The businessman dared not utter a word; remaining silent at this time was undoubtedly the most sensible choice.

"Usa hasn't been out and about for a long time, let it go out for some fresh air."
